On the last day of Kelly Clarkson’s Australian tour in Perth today, she covered Carrie Underwood’s latest single “Blown Away”.

Earlier, Kelly tweeted Carrie, “@carrieunderwood girl I’m covering Blown Away tonight for my fan request song and it is my favorite! I love how dark it is! Very cool song!”

Cool by both artists, as Kelly put her own special, soulful spin on the dark tale of a twister that literally blows the evil out of a young girls life.

After, Kelly tweeted her new Aussie friends before heading back to the United States, “Thank you so much for such an awesome tour Australia! We’ll be back :) thank you to the fray and Sarah as well for an amazing tour!”

    The American Idol performance of the song wasn’t Carrie’s best and she knew it. It’s actually by far the worst performance of the song I’ve seen Carrie do, with the above performances being just a sampling of much better ones.

    Did not care for it at all.

    I don’t listen to Carrie at all; so this is the first time I heard the song.  Hence I can’t make any comparison, the only comment I can make, as usual Kelly sounds great!!!

    Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a Kelly/Carrie tour?  Both now have enough of their own material that a two-hour show could easily be staged.  No fancy sets and/or costume changes.  No opening act(s).  Just come out together and sing.  Kelly sing Kelly, Kelly sing Carrie, Carrie sing Carrie, Carrie sing Kelly, each sing a verse and harmonize on the chorus.  Choose some covers both are fond of.  Both sing backup for each other.  Since they’re both pretty devout ladies, close the show with HGTA in harmony.  Pure awsomeness!!

    Please, Narvel. . . make it happen!!

    I love Kelly’s take on the song. Her interpretation made me much more attentive to the song’s story and as usual her vocals are to die for.

    Great job Kelly! Too bad the comments had to be disabled. There was some pretty awful stuff said about Kelly by Carrie’s fans. That is crazy if you ask me.

    I thought it was a nice nod to Carrie- she wasn’t trying to out-do her.  LOL.  I like Carrie’s version.  I think slowing the song down exposes some of the weakness of the song, which it is a bit repetitive and there is not much variance in the melody- though don’t get me wrong, I love the song.  But Carrie has much better songs.

    Kelly actually sounds more country than Carrie in this version.
